Knowing the mathematization process was important for teacher. In solving problem, students were using their mathematization process. This research aimed to describe the horizontal and vertical mathematization process of junior high school students with high mathematical ability in solving contextual problem of fraction. This research was descriptive qualitative research. The research subjects was determined by mathematical ability test (TKM). Thirty four students of chosen class were given mathematical ability test (TKM). Then, they were divided into three groups based on the ability which were high ability, medium ability, and low ability group. Researcher took one subject from high ability group to be research subject. Then, researcher gave the profile mathematization process test (TPPM). The semi-structured interview was utilized to invstigate the answered of TPPM. The result of this research were: the high mathematical ability subject passed through all of activity in horizontal mathematization such as; identified the mathematical concept that is relevant to the problema; represented the problem in different ways; found the relations between problem language and the formal mathematic symbol; found the regularities, relations, pattern in problem; transfered the problem into mathematical model. The high mathematical ability subject also passed through all of activity in vertical mathematization such as; used the variety of different representation; used symbols, language, and formal mathematical process; made adjustments and development of mathematical models, combined, and united various models; created a mathematical argument; and generalized.

Problem solving is one of several important abilities a student must have. Problem solving is a planned process that mustbe done in order to get a certain solution of a problem that is not obtained immediately. One type of problem studentsmust solve is an open-ended problem. Open-ended problem solving for every student is certainly different from oneanother. The level of mathematical ability of students is one of the factors that influence these differences. This type ofresearch is a qualitative descriptive with the purpose to describe the profile of open-ended problem solving based onPolya’s steps viewed from mathematical ability level of junior high school students. Three students from grade VII arethe subjects in this research (one student having high mathematical ability, one student having moderate mathematicalability, and one student having low mathematical ability). This research uses instruments mathematical ability test, openended problem solving test, and interview guidelines. The results showed there were differences in the open-endedproblem solving profile on students with high, moderate, and low mathematical ability. Student with high mathematicalability can carry out all the steps of Polya’s problem solving. Student with moderate mathematical ability are able to carryout the step of understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, however there are indicators that are notfulfilled at looking back’s step they are using the other way to solve the problem and make conclusion. Student with lowmathematical ability can not show the adequacy of the data at understanding the problem’s step and can not carry out thesteps of devising a plan, carrying out the plan and looking back.

It is difficult for junior high school teachers to position and nurture their students who are still in transition in creative thinking when solving math problems. This study evaluates students' creative thinking process based on Wallas model (2014). The four stages of the creative thinking process according to Wallas include the preparatory, incubation, illumination, and verification phases. The purpose of this study is to describe the creative thinking process of students based on their basic ability level in solving math problems. This research applies giving test of geometric crater thinking ability by looking at homogenous student in kemampuandan interview for deepening. Subjects of junior high school students who categorized on the ability of high, medium, and low after the ability test. Variable of this research is the existence of junior high school students in solving math problems. By using qualitative descriptive method, data is analyzed through classification stage, data representation, and conclusion. In order to complete the results of data groupings used interview techniques to perform data triangulation. The results showed 1) there were 23.33% of students not complete and only reached the preparation stage, called the low category category; 2) there are 60% of students reach the illumination stage even though to this stage students take a long time, called the middle category category; And 3) 16.67% of students have been completed until the verification stage, called the high category category. Based on the deepening of the triangulation of the interviews, the students are correct in that category. For students with low and medium capability categories still require assistance when experiencing barriers to their creative thinking process, while high ability category students need enrichment material
